Use multiple printers for one square stand?

birdnestburgers — Sun, 27 Aug 2017 15:42:18 GMT

Is it possible to simply use two receipt printers connected to one square stand? I don't mean having one receipt printer and one connected kitchen printer. I mean using two receipt printers (such as the Star Micronics TSP143), connected to one stand, both printing receipts. Thanks.

Thanks. I appreciate the response. I've seen that I just want to make sure I don't need to purchase a printer solely designed as a "kitchen printer". I can get a second receipt printer for much cheaper than I can a kitchen printer model. In the long run I'll make the kitchen printer purchase but for now I'd just like to know if a regular receipt printer will do.

YES, two receipt printers will work just fine.

Good day,

How about two printers on one Android tablet? With me it doesn't seem to work. Square is just not finding the second printer. Can it be because this feature is not supported?

Thanks!

Hi @moods

If you're using an Android tablet, so long as you're using an Ethernet setup as your printer station, you should be able to connect multiple printers.

You're not able to do this with multiple USB printers or Bluetooth hardware.
